Q: I have these 7 stocks, they comprise about 30% of the equities I own, in part because the their stellar performance in recent months. Two parts to my question: first, though they are all categorized as "tech" ( well, maybe not Goog), I am trying to get a sense of how different they might be from each other so that 30% is better diversified than the label they fall under might suggest? Can you briefly describe the underlying businesses of the 3 Cdn ones and indicate if you see all 7 as diversified. Second, if the stock market should hit another significant pull back (like March or otherwise), would these 7 be resilient enough to avoid major losses, and are some better than others in this regard? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Hi guys!

I’m here holding knight at an average cost of $7.20. It hasn’t done much and from reading your responses on their earnings, you seem less than impressed. I’m pissed at myself because I went value instead of growth (at least I hold constellation). I’m wondering with all else being equal (taxes, asset allocation, etc.) would you simply sell knight and jump onto the fast moving momentum Canadian tech names or would you stick with knight?

Q: My tech exposure consists of MSFT,ENGH and ET. All have been held for many years and have become multi-baggers as well as producing growing divys. Do you see any holes in my tech coverage? Would you trim and add a new position or leave as is? Thanks Ron

Q: Hello,

My partner and I heard about 5i from a friend whose been using you for many years. You came with the highest recommendation.

I feel like I should be copying one of your portfolios, especially due to my lack of knowledge, but it is very important for me that my investments to follow my ethics.

I would like to know which companies on your balanced and growth portfolios would be highest on positive environmental, social and corporate governance, which are low and should be switched and for which companies. I'm happy to do research, but I'm struggling to navigate the important statistics and feeling incompetent in finding good resources. I have seen your ESG scores (https://www.5iresearch.ca/blog/ESG-tsx-companies) and would be keen to know where to find information on how they are created. I would also appreciate other resources that you think would assist in building a portfolio, or simply which companies you would put on it.

Thank-you,

Q: Hi Peter, one of my first investments after joining 5i, based on your high rating, was Enghouse. It has been a home run for me, up well over 200%! But I'm surprised that such a good stock seems so 'quiet'. I rarely read about it or hear it mentioned on BNN, for example, and see relatively few member questions on it. Does this surprise you? And while you have it B+, it is not in your portfolios and often your ranking of it seems somewhat lukewarm, at least as compared to several other tech stocks. Is this just a $3 billion+ company that is somewhat underappreciated or unknown to many investors? And for that reason or others, do you still see it as a good long-term hold?
